Actor Michael B Jordan is set to join Rooster Teeth's "gen:Lock" as the voice of the hero of the futuristic anime-style series.
"gen:Lock" revolves around earth's last free society, which is on the losing side of a global war.
Jordan will provide the voice of lead character Julian Chase, who joins the fight as the first pilot for the next generation of mecha: a class of giant, weaponised robots controlled by humans, reported Variety.
The 31-year-old "Creed" star's production company, Outlier Society Productions, is set to co-produce "gen:Lock" in association with Rooster Teeth.
The series is created, written and directed by Gray G Haddock, head of Rooster Teeth Animation.
Rooster Teeth has not announced a premiere date for the series, but expects it to premiere later in 2018.
